They will have a 30 minute lunch period. Camp 2 will begin July 5th, at 8:30 AM SHARP and will work until 12:30 pm daily. There will be snack times, but no lunch period. Please come 15 minutes early on opening day to confirm the proper forms are turned in and registration is complete. We will also have a sign in/out sheet. Campers under the age of 16 will need to be signed in and out by a parent or guardian daily. This is for the security and safety of the student. No camper under the age of 16 will be allowed to leave the building without being checked out by a parent or guardian approved by the parent in writing. No MINORS will be allowed to check out a child at anytime. All campers will be involved in working to keep the facility neat and tidy. Daily chores will be assigned and will need to be completed and approved by camp staff before campers are checked out. Please be prompt in picking up your camper. If you are running late, call one of the numbers we have provided. Lunch: 30 minutes – Students may not leave the building to get lunch, etc. Campers need to pack a lunch and additional snacks/drinks if they are needed. All campers will be involved in working to keep the facility neat and tidy. Dress: Campers need to come in clothes they can move in: sweat pants, basketball shorts, and good tennis shoes. NO JEANS. Girls should wear something they are comfortable dancing in, leotard and tights if they have them. Girls should not wear clothing that is too short, tops that are too low, etc. Hair should be pulled back and out of the face. If the camper has dance shoes, please bring those. ABSOLUTELY NO FLIP FLOPS, SANDALS, or BARE FEET WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE STAGE OR IN REHEARSAL AREAS. Costumes: Costuming, as always, is the responsibility of the camper. Please do not obtain any items until we have assigned your camper a character. Some Junior High students may have some slightly different options due to their stature. A separate costume sheet will be made available. Time off We understand that family vacation or summer camp, VBS, etc. may fall on days during the duration of the camp. Campers may take off up to five days. More than that will be a detriment to your camper and to the rest of the camp. UNDER NO circumstances can any camper take off the week of June 14-19 for camp 1 and July 12-17 for camp 2. Tech/dress rehearsal week is the most critical week of the entire process. If this week is an issue, it is best not to enroll in camp at all. Campers in Camp 1 who do take time off at any time during the first two weeks will need to be evaluated upon their return to make sure they can keep up with the material, performance level, and progress achieved during their absence. We don’t want to set up any camper for failure or embarrassment if he/she doesn’t have the ability or time to catch up due to absence. Rehearsal We will distribute scripts and email music tracks/links the first week of camp. Scripts/scores will need to be returned at the end of the rehearsal process. Only pencil may be used on any script/score and all script/scores must be returned fully erased. We suggest that you make a copy of the script/score so your camper can write and make notes freely. A $50 fee will be charged by the publisher for any original script that has been lost or not properly erased. Any such fees incurred are charged to the camper/family. Rehearsal at home Homework/private rehearsal is THE main technique that separates amateurs from professionals. It is our belief that students need to endeavor to come prepared for rehearsal both mentally and emotionally. This rehearsal process is very fun and exciting but can also be demanding and strenuous. Most amateur productions do not come together in three weeks. Your campers will be the exception to this. We will be teaching good attitudes and a good work ethic. There will be an expectation that once campers go home everyday, they will rehearse everything they have learned previously so that they can come in ready the next day to learn new material. We will have time to review, but not to re-teach. We will provide YouTube videos of choreography as soon as campers have learned it so that they can rehearse at home. We also suggest bringing a voice recorder/ipod/phone for learning parts, and a notebook for blocking and acting notes. The more the students use their voice and bodies the more they will retain in terms of the memory of lines, music and choreography. Line/music memorization and choreography is a language in and of itself. Your campers will gain important life-skills as they master this performance language. WE ARE ALWAYS AUDITIONING – EVEN DURING THE REHEARSAL PERIOD. It should be noted that we will be evaluating the progress of each camper regularly. If we notice that a camper is not doing his or her homework or is not making an effort to improve in his or her responsibilities to themselves and the rest of the cast, that performer may be given a different role/responsibility. This policy is an endeavor to make sure that we don’t set your camper up for failure by giving them a role they are not willing to work for and that may result in a less than stellar performance experience as a result of an inadequate amount of effort on their part. In addition, we don’t want to overwhelm campers with more responsibility than they can handle. We realize that many of our campers are involved in other activities outside of camp (dance classes, sports commitments, etc.) that may preclude them from performing at their best. Rest and a good night’s sleep is highly encouraged during the rehearsal and performance process. Your camper WILL BE STRETCHED both physically and emotionally during this three-week period. Campers will also find one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences in their lives by learning the value of really hard work and by developing strong positive relationships with others. Lost and Found Please make sure your camper does not leave any of their personal items at Cornerstone Church Hendersonville. Both Cornerstone Church Hendersonville and Actors Point Theatre Company or their personnel cannot be held responsible for lost items or items left behind from day to day.

Photo by: Nickelodeon SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple under the sea. But he came to life in an ocean education center in California, in 1989. He was just called Bob the Sponge then. He was a sea sponge with cool black shades and a happy smile. Bob the Sponge had no arms or legs. He was a talking blob. He starred in a comic book and described life in an intertidal pool. An intertidal pool is an ocean habitat where millions of sea creatures live. Bob the Sponge's world was created by Stephen Hillenburg. He was a teacher and artist at the Orange County Marine Institute in California. Hillenburg made the comic book to teach kids about intertidal pools. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. 1 Bikini Bottom Ten years later, it became one of the most popular TV cartoons ever. Bob the Sponge became SpongeBob SquarePants. The Intertidal Zone became Bikini Bottom. Hillenburg died Monday, November 26, of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is called ALS for short. ALS affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This causes the muscles to weaken. It also takes away a person's ability to walk. Touched The Lives Of Many Students "He touched the lives of many students," said the Ocean Institute.

  • Stephen Hillenburg Steven Hillenburg Was Born on August 21, 1961 And
    Stephen Hillenburg Steven Hillenburg was born on August 21, 1961 and died on November 26, 2018. He was an American animator, voice actor, and marine science educator. He is best remembered for creating the Nickelodeon animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants which he also directed, produced, and wrote. It has become the fifth-longest-running American animated series. Steven was born in Lawton, Oklahoma and raised in Anaheim, California, Hillenburg became fascinated with the ocean as a child and developed an interest in art. He started his professional career in 1984, instructing marine biology, at the Orange County Marine Institute, where he wrote The Intertidal Zone, an informative comic book about tide-pool animals, which he used to educate his students. In 1989, two years after leaving teaching, Hillenburg enrolled at the California Institute of the Arts to pursue a career in animation. He was later offered a job on the Nickelodeon animated television series Rocko's Modern Life (1993–1996) after his success with The Green Beret and Wormholes (both 1992), short films that he made while studying animation. In 1994, Hillenburg began developing The Intertidal Zone characters and concepts for what became SpongeBob SquarePants. The show has aired continuously since its premiere in 1999. He also directed The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004), which he originally intended to be the series finale. However, Nickelodeon wanted to produce more episodes, so Hillenburg resigned as the showrunner. He went back to making short films, with Hollywood Blvd., USA (2013). In 2015, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water was released; the second film adaptation of the series, it marked Hillenburg's return to the franchise, wherein he co-wrote the story and acted as an executive producer on the project.

They began working in the early 1900s, at the same time as Walt Disney, but while Disney went on to become a household name, the Fleischers are barely remembered. Our film will change this, introducing a wide national audience to a family of brothers – Max, Dave, Lou, Joe, and Charlie – who created Fleischer Studios and a roster of animated characters who reflected the rough and tumble sensibilities of their own Jewish immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. “The Fleischer story involves the glory of American Jazz culture, union brawls on Broadway, gangsters, sex, and southern segregation,” says advisor Tom Sito. Advisor Jerry Beck adds, “It is a story of rags to riches – and then back to rags – leaving a legacy of iconic cinema and evergreen entertainment.” BUDGET Outright Request 600,000.00 Cost Sharing 90,000.00 Matching Request 0.00 Total Budget 690,000.00 Total NEH 600,000.00 GRANT ADMINISTRATOR Ms.

  • Lesson Plan: Character
    Lesson Plan: Character Overview: Students will design an original villain character and complete a model sheet and backstory for their character. “I AM” Poem: Writing & Voice Recording Character Sketch: Artmaking Villain Origin Story: Writing Vocabulary: Character Emotion Hero Exaggerate Silhouette Point of view Expression Villain Proportion Color Scheme Voice Symmetry Asymmetry Modulation Essential Questions: • How does a character’s design reflect his or her personality and traits? • How can a character express emotion? • How does a character’s backstory impact his or her actions? Videos from Paramount Professionals: • Character Designer: David Colman • Character Modeler: Paulette Emerson • Casting Director: Monika Mikkelsen Introduction: Many colorful characters populate Bikini Bottom, each with a unique personality and point of view. SpongeBob Squarepants and his friends have been loved by fans for 20 years. Great characters make a big impression because artists thoughtfully design the way they look to evoke emotions in the viewer. Now it’s your turn to join the action by creating your own villain character to join SpongeBob’s story! Lesson 1: Video: Trailer for SpongeBob Squarepants: Sponge On The Run Discussion Question: How does a character’s design reflect his or her personality and traits? Character Design Instruction: How will your design reflect the villain’s personality? Are they soft and round like goofy Patrick? Or lean and grumpy like wiry Squidward? Plankton’s big red eye is bizarre and his heavy eyebrow makes him look devious. You can exaggerate certain features to create an expressive and engaging character. A character’s design can reflect where they come from, for example Sandy Cheeks has to wear a helmet because she’s from the surface and can’t breathe underwater.

  • Spongebob Squarepants and Contemporary Constructions of the American Dream
    American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 3 No. 11; November 2013 Of Theory and Praxis: SpongeBob SquarePants and Contemporary Constructions of the American Dream Britni A. Tarr Timothy J. Brown Department of Communication Studies Main Hall 512 West Chester University West Chester, PA 19382 Abstract While SpongeBob SquarePants on the surface might appear to project a counter-cultural, rejection of tradition and authority figures, on the contrary, the text projects many elements that support the American cultural ideal of the American Dream. Thus, in our analysis of the television show, SpongeBob SquarePants, we set aside a strictly entertaining form of popular culture to demonstrate the show’s ability to equip both children and adults for contemporary society. In this essay, we describe and analyze four episodes of the SpongeBobSquarePants television series to determine the recurring elements that reinforce a traditional American ideology. More specifically, generic criticism will be used as a framework to identify and explain how an “American Dream” ideology is perpetuated in SpongeBob SquarePants in order to teach, instruct, and guide behavior while appealing to two different audiences: children and adults. Keywords: SpongeBob, ideology, generic criticism, text, the American Dream 1. Reinventing and Perpetuating Ideologies through Media Constructs The ideas, attitudes, memes, and images of popular culture have woven into every aspect of life – perpetuating certain ideologies for a variety of audiences. These ideologies that are conveyed, however, are not apolitical. As Hall (1995) discussed long ago, a primary function of media is the “production and transformation” of ideologies. Thus, as we consume various texts, we should be mindful of the underlying ideas and viewpoints that are contained in them.

  • 31 CHAPTER IV DATA ANALYSIS and INTERPRETATION This
    CHAPTER IV DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION This chapter discusses the answers of the research questions raised in this research. Data are collected, analyzed and arranged to present arguments to support the answers of the research questions. It starts from the first research question about oppressions exercised by Mr. Krabs, and the second about the representations of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat in the episodes. 4.1. Oppressions by Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants Drive Thru Oppression is a belief system done by one group who has power to control to make the lower class feel “less than” the upper class. In this case the writer shows the oppression exercised by Mr. Krabs towards his employees. It starts when Mr. Krabs discovers the “Drive Thru” unintentionally in his restaurant when he fixes a little hole in his restaurant. Figure 4.1. Mr. Krabs trying to fix little hole in the restaurant. When Mr. Krabs fixes the hole, a customer comes and sees through the little hole and assumes that Krusty Krab putting in a drive thru. 31 Dialogue 4.1. Frank : Hey, you guys put in a drive thru! Mr. Krabs : [confused] We did? Frank : Great, I'll have three large Krabby Patties, Krabby Fries, a Krabby Cola, and 2 extra-large orders of Krabby Rings. [Sniffs] Is this toothpaste? (Hillenburg, 2011, minute 1:07) Figure 4.2 A customer assumes that they are putting in a drive thru. Although initially Mr. Krabs does not intend to make a drive thru as proved by his reply, “We did?” when answering the customer’s inquiry, the consumer’s initiation provides Mr.
